SIPA Group Completes Critical Furnace Recovery Project at Shell Chemicals

Turner Industries’ SIPA (scaffolding, insulation, painting, and abatement) and refractory group was recently tasked with a critical furnace recovery project at the Shell Chemicals facility in Deer Park, Texas. The project scope consisted of erecting scaffolds for access, replacing all insulation at blind and inspection points, replacing and repairing refractory damage, and re-tubing various furnaces. Turner successfully completed this project within schedule and—most importantly—incident-free.

Our group’s success was built on creating consistent, long-term goals while working as a team to conquer all barriers. On behalf of our site leadership, we would like to thank everyone for your exceptional care, concern, and courage in making this project a success.
